I am now back in New Jersey after spending my annual week in Seattle at the SMX Advanced conference, updating and working with the best minds in the industry to see what works and what does not, and what is safe and what is not. One of the major takeaways I had from the event [...]
One of the best things about my attending SMX Advanced each year is that I usually have a session in Day 1 that leaves me happy that I made the trip. Once that session has happened, everything else is just icing on the cake. Typically that session is the SEO Factors session, but this year [...]
This year it worked out that Tuesday of my SMX Advanced experienced was very SEO focused, while Wednesday saw a deep dive in to pay per click, conversion rate optimization, and better use of analytics.

I chose to focus mostly on SEO today, after watching Gary Illyes of Google speak, and prioritize speed, AMP, and Progressive Web Apps (PWA). My sessions after the Q&A [...]
Day 1 is complete at SMX Advanced in Seattle and I just wanted to share the big headlines I took away from the day. The Day 2 update may be a little delayed as I have to go directly to the airport for a red eye after the conference. Hopefully will have it put together [...]
Today I want to go in to SEO Ranking factors. On Friday I touched on some of the technical SEO stuff that we learned at SMX Advanced in Seattle last week. Today I want to continue the series by going over some of the latest in ranking factors. I stopped using the SMX logo because [...]
